Understanding Anxiety and How I Can Help You as a Anxiety Therapist

Anxiety is far more than everyday stress. It can feel like a constant state of high alert. A tight chest, a racing heart, persistent dread or an exhausting internal voice that catastrophes every situation. When anxiety takes hold, it affects your health, sleep, relationships and self confidence.

As a dedicated anxiety and depression therapist, I provide a safe, structured and non judgemental space to break these cycles. Rather than applying a rigid, one size fits all approach, I combine proven psychological modalities to address both the mental loops and physical symptoms of anxiety.

By treating the root causes rather than just managing the symptoms, you learn how to calm your nervous system, rebuild emotional balance, and feel grounded again.

An Integrative Approach Tailored to Your Anxiety

Because anxiety manifests differently for everyone, I draw on a powerful blend of specialist therapies tailored to your specific triggers and needs:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I): Anxiety and sleep problems frequently feed into one another. CBT-I addresses night time worry, calms hyperarousal and restores healthy sleep patterns so your brain and body can recover.

  • Clinical Hypnotherapy: Bypasses conscious overthinking to target the subconscious roots of anxiety. Through deep relaxation and focused suggestion, hypnotherapy helps reframe automatic fear responses and in still quiet confidence.

  • Havening Therapy: A neuroscience based sensory therapy that directly signals safety to the brain's alarm system (the amygdala). Havening rapidly reduces the emotional charge of past stressful events, panic triggers and phobias.

  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): Gives you practical tools to interrupt catastrophic thought loops, transform negative self-talk and rapidly alter how your mind interprets anxiety inducing situations.

Client Testimonial

"I cannot recommend Sylvia highly enough.

My 17-year-old son had been struggling with severe anxiety and an overwhelming fear of dying. It had become an ongoing issue that was causing him significant distress, and we felt it was beginning to spiral out of control. As a parent, it was heartbreaking to watch and difficult to know how best to help him.

From the moment we met Sylvia, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly understanding. She immediately put my son at ease, showing great sensitivity to both his age and the awkwardness he felt discussing such personal concerns. Her nurturing, gentle manner created a safe and calming environment where he felt comfortable opening up.

Sylvia used a range of approaches, including meditation, hypnotherapy, and Havening techniques, tailoring the session to his needs and encouraging him to remain open-minded to new experiences. What impressed me most was how naturally she built trust and rapport, allowing him to engage fully in the process.

After just one session, we noticed some remarkable changes. My son appeared calmer, more positive, and better equipped to manage the thoughts that had been overwhelming him. Seeing such a positive shift in such a short space of time was incredibly reassuring.

I am so grateful to Sylvia for helping my son in a way that I had been unable to. We will definitely be returning, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, professional, and effective support."

Frequently asked questions about Anxiety Therapy

What types of anxiety can you help with?

I work with a wide spectrum of anxiety-related challenges, including Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), panic attacks, health anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, performance anxiety, and chronic stress linked to life transitions or burnout.
How do I know which therapy (NLP, Hypnotherapy, Havening, or CBT-I) is right for me?

You do not need to choose in advance. During your initial assessment, I evaluate your specific symptoms, history, and goals, and designs an integrated treatment plan combining the techniques that will be most effective for you.
How many anxiety therapy sessions will I need?

Because I use targeted, solution-focused approaches, therapy is designed to produce noticeable improvements in a practical timeframe. Many clients experience meaningful relief within 4 to 8 sessions, though the exact number depends on the complexity of your situation.

The first consultation is a gentle, comprehensive assessment. I will discuss what you are experiencing, how anxiety is impacting your day-to-day life and outline a clear, tailored plan to help you move forward.

No referral is necessary. You can get in touch directly to book an initial appointment or ask any questions before getting started.
